Talk to me!
Now this is uncanny. I was among five kids and one teacher who discovered the bodies (if you can call them that) in NZ's most ghastly murder case - the 'Tamihere murders' - two Swedish tourists murdered and left in the NZ bush in 1989. My Auckland school camp group found a tent... and... yeah in early 1990. OMFSM.
We didn't even have BB guns. Crap.
Dude that story is both amazing and fucked up. The only thing that would have made it weirder is if a swamp cooler had been somehow involved.
Shudder.
Amelia- We have so much in common.
SciFi Dad- I'm sure there was one blowing in the distance.
It's a little like the movie Stand By Me, except you stumbled upon a body instead of going on a journey to find one. I remember seeing dead bodies when I was younger. The image is seared into my brain forever. The family of four did not fall victim to a murder, but instead, we're accidently ran over by high speed vehicles on I-5 in San Clemente. They were illegal immigrants just trying get away from la migra at the border checkpoint.
VegasDad- That sucks. It's a weird thing for a kid to see.
RE: Stand By Me, tune in next week for the continuing story of Lard Ass.
Holy CRAP.
(Yes, that is the extent of my comment. That.. um.. yeah - that says it all.)
OMG, I was totally thinking Stand By Me as well.
But then I remembered that your name is Whit and River actually died. Whew.
Interesting story. I found a dead Opossum once. It smelled too. I didn't get on TV though. Damn.
whoa! messed up.
Some things you just can't un-see.
Oh, and I too kept hearing Ben E King's voice belting out Stand By Me as I read it.
dude.
The whole hands-tied-behind-the-back bit makes this so much more sinister than Stand By Me. That would creep me out to no end.
And I must say I'm impressed you gave the sparrow a Pop Tarts box casket. Right considerate of you.
i thought of Stand By Me, too. but then i thought of Corey Feldmen and i didn't want to think of Stand By Me anymore. is it just me or does he have dwarfism of the shoulders
Miss Britt- well said
Hygiene Dad- that's why I don't go to the Viper Room
Willie G- are you sure it was dead?
PG- when the night, has come...
Crys- I know
Kapgar- blueberry, no less, my favorite, I spared no expense
Crys- I always thought he just had a really big head
Wow, what a horrible thing for a 13-year-old to have to witness! I can just imagine that run back through the desert. I wouldn't have had any voice left by the time I reached that house!
I totally remember that day. Creepy!!
Wow!!
That would have given me nightmares for a long, long time
Evil Genius- nothing a glass of Tang couldn't cure
tt- yep
CT Dad- I'm pretty sure that was our last "hunt."
How awful! It's funny though, you thinking the killer was right behind you. When I was little I would watch 'Unsolved Mysteries' with my mom and I was convinced that the killer/alien/big-foot was outside our window watching and now that he knew we knew it was all over.
Since they body was already dead, I would have used it to do a practical joke puppet show or something. But in a respectful way.
Cripes, freaky story. That's the kind of thing boys might talk about, but then the reality is a whole different matter.
Whoa. I cannot imagine such a thing.
